Description

Have you sacrificed sleep so that you could keep working, grab drinks with a friend or watch an extra episode of Netflix? Have you woke up on some mornings and immediately felt ready to go back to sleep? Have there been days you don’t even feel like you’re “awake” until lunch rolls around?

Today I want to talk about the importance of prioritizing our sleep and how by doing so allows us to feel refreshed and ready for the day ahead. Yes it’s okay to sacrifice a few hours here and there when needed BUT for the most part we should push to get as much rest as our body and mind needs.

Three steps to prioritizing sleep

• (1) Find How Many Hours You Need : find how many hours you need and commit to it once you find that sweet spot that makes you feel good on a daily basis. 
• (2) Pick A Bedtime & Stay Committed To It : Your body & mind will thank you tomorrow when they’re fully recharged and recovered, ready to tackle the day ahead.
• (3) Create a Night Routine That Works : Test & try different night routines until you find one that helps you slow down from the day. Once it clicks, stick with it.

Challenge for the listeners

• Be honest with yourself and ask : Do you prioritize your sleep or do you sacrifice it more often than you probably should? For the next week, spend 5 mins every morning and document how your sleep was, how you feel this morning and see what the similarities are on the days you feel GREAT, GOOD OR WORST.
